EDC 544 USE AND INTEGRATION OF EDUCATIONAL MEDIA. (3)
Students use a range of traditional, interactive, and emerging technological interventions in analog and digital formats. Students gain skill in the operation, production, and integration of basic media such as video, graphics, videodisk, and CD-ROM in a variety of instructional settings (training, exploratory learning, on-line databases, etc.). Students demonstrate skills via the composition and publication of several media documents using available tools and resources.

EDC 547 INSTRUCTIONAL COMPUTING I. (3) Students use instructional computing applications and understand the roles and uses of computers in instruction. Students select and use instructional computing hardware and software appropriate to instructional goals and settings. Students use electronic networks for instructional purposes. Students demonstrate skill using basic productivity software through structured assignments and collaborative projects.

EDC 548 INSTRUCTIONAL COMPUTING II. (3) Students develop skill in advanced aspects of the operation and use of the range of instructional technologies from desktop to distributed computing environments. Students use operating systems, learn network administration, do technology planning, and work with basic authoring tools. Skill is demonstrated through a series of projects including development of a technology plan for a specified work setting and authorship of a prototype program. Prereq: EDC 547 or consent of instructor.

EDC 607 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN I. (3) Introduction to the instructional design process from needs assessment and goal definition through evaluation. Each student will design prototype instructional materials based on an instructional design model and/or procedures. The course will also introduce students to the field of instructional design and technology.

EDC 608 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN II. (3) Critical analysis of instructional design models and their theoretical foundations including the impact of various models and perspectives on the practice and the products of instructional design. Prereq: EDC 607 or consent of instructor.

EDC 609 INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA RESEARCH AND DESIGN. (3) Students integrate theory and practice in the design of interactive multimedia for instruction. Students use a wide range of interactive technology and critique existing interactive programs. Research findings in the interdisciplinary field of human computer interaction and interactive learning concepts are applied to interface design problems. Students design, develop and evaluate a prototype interactive program. Prereq: EDC 544, EDC 547 or consent of instructor.

EDC 611 AUTHORING APPLICATIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY-BASED INSTRUCTION. (3) Focuses on individual and collaborative authoring applications for technology based instructional materials. Topics include linear and non-linear information structures, instructional message design, compositional issues related to audience focus, information density, language control, and organization, and prototype production with industry standard authoring software. Prereq: EDC 547 and EDC 609 or consent of instructor.

EDC 612 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATIONS. (3) Provides an in-depth survey of the field on instructional design and technology. Topics covered include the history of instructional design and technology, critical issues, current trends and future prospects for the field, instructional development, research, certification, and professional development.

EDC 710 ADVANCED TOPICS IN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN. (3)
An identification and analysis of current theories and programs of research in instructional systems design. Students will develop the skills necessary to conduct and write a scholarly literature review and identify potential areas and questions needing further study. Prereq: EDC 608, EDP 610, EDC 612, or consent of instructor.

EDC 732 PRINCIPLES OF CURRICULUM CONSTRUCTION. (3)
